摘要(Abstract)：
陪审制,即平民参与司法审判的制度在世界上多数国家都是一个客观存在。各国的陪审制在运作模式、形成背景、功能价值和发展走向上存在一些显著的差异,并形成了不同的模式。通过对不同模式的对比考察可以发现,人民主权原则和司法民主精神是其基本的价值依托。对于中国来说,陪审制是一个"舶来品"。新中国的人民陪审员制度是在新民主主义革命的实践中萌芽的,直到20世纪80年代才在全国范围内开始制度化、规范化。但是,中国的人民陪审员制度在司法实践中的实施效果并不十分理想,引起了人们关于制度存废的激烈争议。在看待陪审制的未来走向的问题上,我们必须立足于中国现实,通过对人民陪审员制度进行系统地改造,即通过采取扩大陪审员参与庭审的人数、合理缩小陪审的适用范围、完善相关配套机制等措施,以使其更好地服务于发扬人民民主、保障人民权利、保障司法公正和提升司法公信力的司法改革的总目标。

- 33 Kuomintang National Government in Guangzhou first proposed"the Party-controlled Judiciary"policy,its theoretical source is the Sun Yat-sen's theory"to found a state by the Party"and"rule by the party".In the ten years since 1926,the Party-controlled Judiciary got a great progress.On the one hand,the Judicial Transformation Committee set up by the Guangzhou National Government passed a resolution,which explicitly lifted the ban on judges against joining political parties,and required the judges must be chosen from the KMT party members.On the other hand,in law cases involving Communists("counterrevolutionary cases"),the jury trial was needed and the jurors must be chosen from members of local KMT party headquarters.(Xu Xiaoqun,The Fate of Judicial Independence in Republican China:1912-1937,The China Quarterly,14,1997).Thus,justice almost becomes the Kuomintang party affairs,which is both the serious damage to the independence of the judiciary,but also a serious distortion of judicial democracy.

- 47 Before 2004,the mechanism of the selection and appointment of People's Assessor was unusually in chaotic.There were some dilemmas.If the assessors are elected at the same time as the representatives of the local people's Congress,it will damage its democratic values which requiring random calling up.If the assessors are appointed by the court,it will damage the assessors'independence and their check function on the judge.If recommended by the public,those idle personnel but not key personnel are often pushed to the court,who cannot effectively perform their assessing tasks.What is more,according to the law,the parties have no chance to object the selection of a assessor,so biased personnel entering into the trial is possible and the assessors'neutrality lacks security.

- 63 For example,three judges was shot to death by an angry party in Yongzhou of Hunan Province on June 1,2010.This tragedy happened just because the party is dissatisfied with the judges'improper words and deeds.It is more amazing that the masses regarded the murder as a"hero"after the tragedy occurred and held a rally at the gate of the court,demanding severe punishments for judicial corruption.5ee Zhu Wengqiang,The Truth of the Court Shooting in Yongzhou of Hunan,7 Xiaokang,99(2010).
- 64 For example,in a criminal case tried by the Henan Province Higher People's Court First Criminal Division,the People's Jury was formed for the first time in China to hear the case and gave advices to the collegiate panel.The juror was invited from the public.Since June 2009,courts in six cities including of Zhengzhou,Kaifeng,Xinxiang,Sanmenxia,Shangqiu and Zhumadianbegan to carry out the People's Jury system pilot work.Since March 25,2010,the People's Jury practice was expanded to all courts located in Henan Province.The point of the reform is to secure people's right to know,the right to participate in,the right to express and to supervise.In the early stage,the People's Jury would be used mainly in criminal cases,and then expand to administrative cases step by step.In 2010,the Higher People's Court Criminal Divisions was asked to use the People's Jury in no less than 5 pieces of cases,Intermediate Court not less than 10 pieces,and the Grass-roots Court not less than 5 pieces.Zhang Liyong,president of Henan Province Higher People's Court,said the practice of the People's Jury would uncover the mysterious veil of criminal justice,and promote the judicial democratization and popularization.
